no laughing matter murder she wrote: No Laughing Matter Dorothy Simpson, 2017-07-04 A country vineyard is tainted by murder in this “absorbing” English police procedural starring Detective Inspector Thanet (Publishers Weekly). Sturrenden Vineyard is a few miles west of town, a lovely piece of land where tourists come to sip wine, tour the grounds, and enjoy the exquisite Kentish scenery. But Det. Inspector Luke Thanet is too busy for such frivolous activities, so his first visit comes with the introduction of a an attraction far more in keeping with his usual interests: murder. Vineyard owner Zak Randish has been found dead in his personal laboratory, where he’d been working late into the night to perfect the next vintage. His equipment is smashed and his blood stains every surface, mingling with the wine. Although outwardly happy, successful, and at peace, Randish had terrible secrets, and Thanet must uncover them soon, lest the vineyard’s tidy rows of grapes run red with blood as red as Sturrenden wine. Perfect for fans of P. D. James or Midsomer Murders, No Laughing Matter is another sterling entry in Dorothy Simpson’s long-running, award-winning mystery series. No Laughing Matter is the 12th book in the Inspector Thanet Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order. |
no laughing matter murder she wrote: No Laughing Matter Peter Guttridge, 2004 When a naked woman flashes past Nick Madrid's fourteenth floor hotel window it's quite a start to the Just for Laughs Festival. The management is horrified to have a celebrity death fall into their laps, that is, into their pool, and the mess in the shallow end is no treat either. But the big question is: was Cissie Parker pushed or did she fall? Nick, a journalist easily distracted by his intense and painful yoga practices, turns gumshoe to answer the question. Madrid and his cohorts -- the caddy Frank and the ciggie-smoking, platform-sole wearing Bridget -- pick up the deadly breadcrumb trail, each carrying their own suspicions as to who killed Ms. Parker. The fine lines of comedy and tragedy are smeared as the killer's trail leads them from Montreal to Edinburgh to the ghastly-lights of Hollywood. |

no laughing matter murder she wrote: Women, Men, and the Whole Damn Thing David Leser, 2021-01-05 A brilliant, impassioned, unflinching account of the firestorm of #MeToo, how we got there, and where we must now go. In Women, Men, and the Whole Damn Thing, author David Leser presents an essential and incisive investigation, unearthing the roots of misogyny, its inextricable links to the patriarchy, and how history brought us to the #MeToo movement and the wave of incandescent female rage that is sweeping the world. Crucially, he also interrogates his own psyche, privilege, and culpability as he bears witness to the “collective wound of the world” and asks how we can move towards healing and profound and permanent change. This book calls on men (yes, all men) to be accountable for their contribution to the continuing oppression of women by the patriarchal structures that have dominated our culture historically and through to the present. He argues that misogyny and female oppression is the greatest moral issue of our times and we are all responsible for dismantling the structures which cause such oppression. This book is his journey into how to grapple with both the personal and collective aftermath of #MeToo and the new future. Including interviews with Tina Brown, Zainab Salbi, Marlene Schiappa, and Helen Garner, among other globally recognized names, Women, Men, and the Whole Damn Thing is a bold, honest, and self-searching global overview of the cultural moment of misogyny that we exist in and, perhaps, a way to move forward. |

no laughing matter murder she wrote: Miss Morton and the Deadly Inheritance Catherine Lloyd, 2024-08-20 Social standing is everything in Regency England—and no one knows better than Miss Caroline Morton, a lady’s companion from a disgraced line. But when she has a chance to claim what’s rightfully hers, the one obstacle in her way is a dangerous murder mystery . . . Miss Caroline has doubts when she receives an urgent invitation from a London law firm to discuss her late father’s estate. After all, the dishonored Earl of Morton died without a pound sterling to pass on to his two daughters. But while immersing herself in helping Mrs. Frogerton’s capricious daughter navigate the high social season, Caroline meets with a cagey lawyer, Mr. Smith, who shares life-altering news—the earl composed a second will, leaving behind an undisclosed fortune. Mrs. Frogerton, however, is thoroughly unimpressed with the firm’s conduct and suspicious of their true motives. Her instinct proves right when the two ladies find the office ransacked, staff in turmoil, and Mr. Smith missing. The full weight of the situation doesn’t sink in until Mr. Smith dies following a brutal attack on the street—discovered with an empty envelope bearing Caroline’s name in his pocket. With a connection forming between two deaths at the firm, Caroline can’t imagine why anyone would kill twice over the contents of a will. Further complicating matters is the amorous Mr. DeBloom—who claims his mother goaded the earl into making bad investments and promises to link Caroline to her inheritance—and the disappearance of Susan, her younger sister. As Caroline unwittingly becomes the center of both a criminal case and a sordid love triangle, she must tread with caution while seeking the truth . . . because someone is waiting to reduce her to nothing more than a signature on a dotted line. |

no laughing matter murder she wrote: Making Gullah Melissa L. Cooper, 2017-03-16 During the 1920s and 1930s, anthropologists and folklorists became obsessed with uncovering connections between African Americans and their African roots. At the same time, popular print media and artistic productions tapped the new appeal of black folk life, highlighting African-styled voodoo as an essential element of black folk culture. A number of researchers converged on one site in particular, Sapelo Island, Georgia, to seek support for their theories about “African survivals,” bringing with them a curious mix of both influences. The legacy of that body of research is the area’s contemporary identification as a Gullah community. This wide-ranging history upends a long tradition of scrutinizing the Low Country blacks of Sapelo Island by refocusing the observational lens on those who studied them. Cooper uses a wide variety of sources to unmask the connections between the rise of the social sciences, the voodoo craze during the interwar years, the black studies movement, and black land loss and land struggles in coastal black communities in the Low Country. What emerges is a fascinating examination of Gullah people’s heritage, and how it was reimagined and transformed to serve vastly divergent ends over the decades. |

Revels, Elbert Henry Smith, David Marcum, Roger Riccard, Brenda Seabrooke, Mike Adamson, Will Murray, David MacGregor, Robert V. Stapleton, Gordon Linzer, Michael Mallory, Tom Turley, P.C. Shumway, Jane Rubino, and a poem by Joseph W. Svec, III. 59 New Traditional Canonical Holmes Adventures Collected in Three Companion Volumes. Over the course of their careers and lives, Sherlock Holmes and Doctor John Watson were of inestimable importance. But when reading their many adventures, it's not just the heroes themselves that make the stories so wonderful. It's the Victorian and Edwardian worlds in which they lived, and the many people with whom the interacted - those well known, like Mycroft Holmes, Mrs. Hudson, and various Scotland Yard inspectors, and others who may have just crossed the stage for a short time before vanishing. All of these Occupants of the Canonical Realm have value, whatever the depth of their roles, and this new set of Holmes stories celebrates them. Once again MX Publishing brings us fifty-nine adventures in three simultaneously published volumes, each with some level of participation by individuals who initially appeared in The Canon. Perhaps this person is a major player, or possibly he or she is only mentioned in passing. In the meantime, the reader can be certain that the True Holmes and Watson of these books are the Canonical Heroes one deserves and expects. All royalties from these books go to support the Undershaw school for special needs children, located at one of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's former homes. Join us as we return to Baker Street and discover more authentic adventures of Sherlock Holmes, described by the estimable Dr. Watson as the best and wisest . . . whom I have ever known. Each volume contains forewords by Dan Andriacco, Roger Johnson, Emma West, Steve Emecz, and David Marcum |

no laughing matter murder she wrote: The Love Fixers Angela Casella, 2024-04-29 **Book One in a new series of romantic comedies by USA Today-bestselling author Angela Casella** Send help and wine. My sister is trying to set me up with the grump next door. Claire A few hours after losing my job, I get a call from a stranger who claims I’ve inherited property from my father. I assume it’s a scam, because my dad is very much alive. Turns out my mother is the liar. I board a flight to my bio-dad’s hometown, hoping for answers, but the turbulence is so bad I worry we won’t make it. Declan, the hot, tattooed hunk next to me, is obviously terrified too. When the plane freefalls for half a second, he kisses me with the passion of a man who thinks he’s about to die. He seems to regret it immediately afterward—and we both regret it when we discover he’s my new next door neighbor, a complication neither of us wants. To make matters worse, it turns out my bio-dad’s cabin is only half mine. The rest belongs to a half-sister I didn’t know I had—Nicole, a pink-haired private investigator and possible psychopath. If I weren’t unemployed and broke, I’d leave, but this crappy half-a-house is my only possession. So I stay in the hopes that I can convince her to sell. Unfortunately, she seems intent on setting me up with Declan, among other manipulations, and her matchmaking tactics are…extreme. Declan I came to the mountains to hide and be left alone, and now I’m never alone. Every time I turn a corner, I run into Claire Rainey. She’s tempting as hell, particularly now that I’ve had a taste of her, but I know better than to wrap her up in my trouble—or get wrapped up in hers. |
no laughing matter murder she wrote: Cinema's Illusions, Opera's Allure David Schroeder, 2016-10-06 The invention of cinema was ingenious, so much so that virtually no-one quite knew what to do with it. In its earliest stages, especially with the advent of the feature film, it needed models, and opera proved to be especially useful in that regard. The allure of opera to cinema early in the twentieth century held up through the silent era, into sound films, through the golden age of movies, and beyond. This book explores the numerous ways – some predictable, some unexpected, and some bizarre – in which this has happened. The influence of Richard Wagner on filmmakers has been especially striking, and some have even devised visual images that seem to emerge from a kind of non-verbal Wagnerian essence – a formative, musical urge that can underlie a cinematic idea, defying explanation and remaining purely sensory. Directors like Griffith, DeMille, Eisenstein, Chaplin, Bunuel or Hitchcock have intuited this possibility. Schroeder provides a fascinating, well-researched and always entertaining account of the influence of one medium on another, and shows that opera can often be found lurking in the background (or booming in the foreground) of an impressive range of films. |
